In front of the house of a wealthy family, there stood a little girl with a hesitant face.

The little girl's clothes are extraordinary, but they are full of stains, and her timid appearance is really pitiful.

And she was none other than Nangong Rou, whom Jiang Zhige had been searching for all day.

Nangong Rouhui left without saying goodbye, not because she disliked Jiang Zhige.

In fact, she regretted her behavior after seeing Jiang Zhige's desolate back going out under the snow.

Although Nangong Rou is young, she also understands who is good to her and who is bad to her.

Jiang Zhige worked hard to take care of him, so how could he vent his anger on him and say such heartbreaking words?

Nangong Rou blamed herself for a while and decided to go out to look for food to share the pressure for Jiang Zhige.

But she was still young and had no experience yet, so she worked hard all day without achieving anything.

It wasn't until not long ago that Nangong Rou came to the conclusion that if you want to get delicious food, you have to be rich.

She began to look for ways to make money, but after walking for an hour, she finally found a job where she could have enough food and clothing as a maid, but she was rejected because she was too young.

Just when Nangong Rou was about to return disappointed, a man with a mustache who obviously had an extraordinary status in the house kept her.

"Young age is not a problem, I can train you myself."

Shen Quan laughed lewdly and kept looking at Nangongrou's young body.

Nangong Rou is a bit young and looks like a beggar, but even so, it can be seen that she is a beauty.

If she is cultivated, she will definitely become a beautiful woman who will conquer the country and the city in the future.

Nangong Rou felt uncomfortable being stared at, and she always felt that the uncle in front of her was a bit weird.

Before, she would have happily agreed, but now that she had received Shen Quan's personal consent, she was a little hesitant.

The manager of the Shen Mansion next to her was very worried. She was such a well-behaved girl. He wanted to persuade her to leave, but he didn't expect that she still couldn't escape Shen Quan's vicious hands.

"Rou'er!"

Just when Nangong Rou was hesitating, Jiang Zhige's voice suddenly sounded not far away.

"elder brother!"

Nangongrou's eyes lit up, and as soon as she turned around, she was hugged tightly by Jiang Zhige who rushed over.

With tears in his eyes, Jiang Zhige said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you..."

A moment ago, he was enveloped in despair. Now when he saw Nangong Rou, the feeling of regaining what he had lost was truly indescribable.

"elder brother..."

Nangong Rou was stunned. Didn't she just leave for a while? What happened to her brother?

Shen Quan's face darkened slightly when he saw this. Nangong Rou thought it was good, but he didn't want to waste food and take in another Jiang Zhige.

Shen Quan didn't care at all when he heard Nangong Rou mentioning a brother just now. After entering Shen's mansion, Nangong Rou could not decide whether to stay or go.

But now, the brother and sister appeared in the street outside Shen's house. If Shen Quan was unwilling to take Jiang Zhige in, he would definitely get a bad reputation.

If only Jiang Zhige had value, that would be fine, but he was so skinny and haggard that he seemed to have trouble even serving tea and water.

........

In the Zhengyang Hall, hundreds of powerful men all had expressions of bewilderment. It was difficult to associate the beautiful woman not far away with the beggar-like girl in the light and shadow.

"Fairy Nangong, one of the top ten beauties in heaven, was willing to be a maid to share the pressure of the Demon Emperor?"

"This relationship between brother and sister is really tearful..."

"Yes, now that I think about it, Fairy Nangong was only seven years old back then. She had been pampered since she was a child. Suddenly she left her parents. She was lucky not to cry. How could she be forced to be as sensible as the beggar Demon Emperor?"

Among the hundreds of powerful people in the palace, some were shocked by Nangong Rou's willingness to become a maid, while others were impressed by Nangong Rou's well-behaved behavior when she was seven years old.

There are also some people who feel ashamed for criticizing Nangong Rou for being ignorant not long ago.

If you think about it carefully, Nangong Rou was only seven years old back then. How much could a seven-year-old girl know?

Looking at herself being hugged by Jiang Zhige in the light and shadow, Nangong Rouyin gritted her teeth and secretly clenched her fists.

"Silly girl! Why don't you push him away? He's such a bastard!"

Nangong Rou believes that it was because she was too good to Jiang Zhige and had no sense of precaution against Jiang Zhige that she was easily taken advantage of by Jiang Zhige, causing her father, who had a strong cultivation level, to be framed by Jiang Zhige, a villain.

If her mother hadn't been willing to exchange the family's treasure, she would have died in Jiang Zhige's hands.

Moreover, although Jiang Zhige is very kind to Nangong Rou now, Nangong Rou clearly remembers that when the two of them entered the path of cultivation and her bloodline awakened, she was the one protecting Jiang Zhige most of the time.

Next to him, Qu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was unhappy with Jiang Zhige's hugging Nangong Rou, what he was most worried about was Nangong Rou's touching Jingshengqing.

Looking at Nangong Rou's expression now, it seems that her resentment towards Jiang Zhige has not diminished.

Qu Yun turned to look at Jiang Zhige, who was half kneeling on the ground, with a flash of joy in his eyes.

So what if he has known Nangong Rou since childhood? Isn’t it that he has a better relationship with Nangong Rou now?

........

Shen Quan suppressed the contempt in his heart, smiled and said: "My child, you are her brother, right?"

Jiang Zhige was stunned when he heard this, looked up at Shen Quan, then looked at Nangong Rou and asked: "Rou'er, he is..."

He knew that Shen Quan was definitely not Nangong Rou's lost father, otherwise he would not directly call him Nangong Rou's brother.

Moreover, Nangong Rou's long and graceful figure is not even remotely similar to the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked, mustachioed man in front of her.

Shen Quan frowned slightly, how dare a mere beggar ignore him?

Nangong Rou was very excited when he heard this, and said with joy: "Brother, he is the owner of this house, and he promised that as long as I am his maid, he will make us have enough food and clothing in the future!"

She was a little hesitant before, but now that she saw Jiang Zhige, she suddenly only wanted to lighten her brother's burden.

As long as he and his brother can have enough food and clothing, so what if Shen Quan is a bad guy?

"Handmaid..."

Jiang Zhige's expression suddenly darkened, and he slowly let go of the hand holding Nangong Rou.

He ignored Nangong Rou, who was still describing a beautiful life in the future, and went straight to Shen Quan, cupping his hands and saying, "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but my brother and sister are weak and sick, so we cannot cause trouble to your house."

As Jiang Zhige spoke, he raised his head and stared at Shen Quan. He had been living in a tight spot since he was a child, and he could tell at a glance that Shen Quan was not a good person.

"It's okay. There is food and drink in my house, and there is a doctor. Within a month, your brother and sister will be as healthy as ever."

Shen Quan's face froze. A mere beggar who could get as excited as the Chinese New Year by just giving a steamed bun would actually refuse to enter his Shen Mansion?

"Uncle, it's because of your kindness that I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Jiang Zhige remained unmoved, but bent his waist again.
